SUMMARY:Saint Bede the Venerable
DESCRIPTION:Saint Bede the Venerable\nSaint of the Day for May 25\n(c. 672 – May 25\, 735)\nhttps://www.franciscanmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/SODMay25.mp3\nSaint Bede the Venerable’s Story\nBede is one of the few saints honored as such even during his lifetime. His writings were filled with such faith and learning that even while he was still alive\, a Church council ordered them to be read publicly in the churches. \nAt an early age\, Bede was entrusted to the care of the abbot of the Monastery of St. Paul\, Jarrow. The happy combination of genius and the instruction of scholarly\, saintly monks\, produced a saint and an extraordinary scholar\, perhaps the most outstanding one of his day. He was deeply versed in all the sciences of his times: natural philosophy\, the philosophical principles of Aristotle\, astronomy\, arithmetic\, grammar\, ecclesiastical history\, the lives of the saints and especially\, holy Scripture. \nFrom the time of his ordination to the priesthood at 30–he had been ordained a deacon at 19–till his death\, Bede was ever occupied with learning\, writing\, and teaching. Besides the many books that he copied\, he composed 45 of his own\, including 30 commentaries on books of the Bible. \nHis Ecclesiastical History of the English People is commonly regarded as of decisive importance in the art and science of writing history. A unique era was coming to an end at the time of Bede’s death: It had fulfilled its purpose of preparing Western Christianity to assimilate the non-Roman barbarian North. Bede recognized the opening to a new day in the life of the Church even as it was happening. \nAlthough eagerly sought by kings and other notables\, even Pope Sergius\, Bede managed to remain in his own monastery until his death. Only once did he leave for a few months in order to teach in the school of the archbishop of York. Bede died in 735 praying his favorite prayer: “Glory be to the Father\, and to the Son\, and to the Holy Spirit. As in the beginning\, so now\, and forever.” \n  \n\nReflection\nThough his History is the greatest legacy Bede has left us\, his work in all the sciences\, especially in Scripture\, should not be overlooked. During his last Lent\, Bede worked on a translation of the Gospel of Saint John into English\, completing it the day he died. But of this work “to break the word to the poor and unlearned” nothing remains today. \n\nSaint Bede the Venerable is the Patron Saint of:\nScholars
